More quotes by Wanda Sykes
It's not until you develop your own voice, your own persona onstage that you become your own comic, who you really are.
Wanda Sykes

Wanda Sykes
I watched a lot of comedy growing up.
Wanda Sykes
If something stinks, I say it stinks. But I try to massage it a little and not be as cutting, come behind it with a joke: Hey, I cut you deep, but now let me put a couple of stitches in you.
Wanda Sykes
I'm here today because I refused to be unhappy. I took a chance.
Wanda Sykes
What gets me is when celebrities aren't allowed to have an opinion on anything political. There's the whole 'Shut up and sing' thing.
Wanda Sykes

Wanda Sykes
I always want to go back and do stand-up I like the freedom.
Wanda Sykes
What drives the creative person is that we see it all.
Wanda Sykes
Since when did I become the spokesperson for nappy-headed hos?
Wanda Sykes
If you feel like there's something out there that you're supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.
